i believe 'prepare' may help you
ie
m-a prepare nvidia
could be wrong. debian people are lazy, so we spend ages writing
a tool like that does stuff for us ;)
not that i have contributed any code to debian - so 'we' is more
like 'they'.

I'd like to build the nvidia-kernel-source on sarge but "m-a

If I add testing repositories and grab testings kernel and gcc and
friends will that work?
If anyone has done this and can give me some pointers it'd be
appreciated.
It's hard to tell why it says that. What kernel are you running (the
output of `uname -a` will tell you) and what version of gcc is the
default (the output of `gcc --version` will tell you)?
The kernel is 2.6.8-12-amd64-k8, and gcc is 3.3.5. I suspect that
that is a security fixed kernel since sarge's release and m-a wants
gcc 3.4.
